Best Parts of the Day-
I had 20 odd people over for Liam's official 4 year-old b-day celebration tonight. It was such fun and the house was abuzz with positive energy and holiday spirit. Kids running and adults chatting it up with organic juice boxes and wine going on down. Liam was beyond priceless with his sheer love of all of his presents (another great thing about being a minimalist...he was genuinely pumped about each and everything he received. ) He opened presents like a madman, but beamed at the end and gave a shout out to the group, "Thank you all for my presents!!" At bedtime he stated, "This was the best day of my yife." Too cute.

Also, Alli and Barb had the kids all day so I could clean and prep for party. Exceedingly helpful. Also, also, Will-O knew he was an inexcusable jackass last night (and perhaps figuring he has 8 more days of doing any chores as a family man) and as a result he shoveled and helped with some party prep without my asking.


Worst Part of the Day-
I also had to go to work even though all I wanted was to party prep and then go get a pedicure or take a small napper.
